Second reason: Miss Marple, a Methodist, if I remember correctly, began a very long and quite informative thread yesterday or the day before as to the financial motives in lavender takeovers of church offices, staff jobs, property, endowments, tax exemptions and other material perks to better facilitate the lifestyles and luxuries and evangelization of evil in lieu of the Christian evangelization commanded by Christ. I am a computer illiterate. I leave it to her or anyone else helpful to post the URL and I recommend her thread as at least the thread of the month and far worthier and more permanent and more interesting by far than all the Aaaaaaaahnold-mania threads.
Our Caholic scandals certainly were and are about homosexuality but they are additionally, in many cases, about pederasty and always about the criminally negligent or actively complicit evils of the leftist AmChurch Kumbaya bishops (not all of our bishops but all too many) who have protected and promoted the evils. Fortunately the purge of the AmChurch chanceries seems to have begun.
You may have missed it but, in other relevant news (which I mention only because it involves an attack on my own Roman Catholic Church), the, ummmmm, Episcopalian bishop of New Hampshire: the Most Reprehensible V. Gene Robinson went straight from Minnesota where he dodged two reputational bullets and was confirmed or whatever as bishop not to New Hampshire, no, no, but to the UNITED NATIONS in New York to appear before some UN Commission of uninvited buttinskies (that is not a sexual allusion whatever he might wish) to vent his complaints about the hideous Church of Rome which has the unChristian nerve not to continue Kumbayaing the clerical faggots and their protectors who are Gene's "Catholic" counterparts.
May I be the first to invite V. Gene Robinson (no one in my neighborhood ever parted their name on the right) or Bishop Genital Gene the Lavender Queen as he must henceforth be known if he insists on attacking the Roman Catholic Church before the United Nations, no less, for being faithful to the teachings the teachings of Scripture in calling homosexuality the abomination that it truly is, to a wide-ranging war of words with actual Catholics over Catholic morality. Yes, yes, it certainly is a mismatch but we can add to the fun by having him recruit his now fellow Episcopalian bishop John Spong to be his second.
For Episcopalians out there who are faithful Christians, take no offense because I am with you on this one.
BUT, as to Genital Gene, call me "non-inclusive". That's just the kind of boy I am. I offer no apologies to him and I am sticking to my principles.
